When one goes through the history of Pakistan, one comes across many political parties which ran the system of the country. Three of them forming the majority of ruling time. Without taking names when we scratch the prize token of history we find that we only had pin-pointing to the former government, rise in corruption, poverty, inflation and HOLIDAYS as a prize bestowed in the package of impending promises of success. When we compare the progress of one government with the other, we see nothing but the graph falling steeper and steeper.
The death of Nusrat Bhutto was a Great Loss for the political hierarchy of Pakistan People's Party which is the largest party of Pakistan. But lets compare a small house with a wife and 6 children and only one bread earner; he goes out, he dies in an accident or a bomb blast or in target killing. The question i want to pose is who will be more important for that family Nusrat Bhutto? Or their Bread earner who died without any reason, who was innocent and was a victim of something that he hasn't played any role to initiate?
I was having an informal discussion with my father and i was with the view that she hasn't suffered anything in life else than the death of her husband, son and daughter. I can count hundreds of women who are living a life like Nusrat Bhutto, atleast she has a house to live in, food to eat, clothes to cover her up nicely, money to roam around the world, courage to stand up and fight for herself. But does every women like her has the same ability and reputation? What would be more important for a women? The sadness of the death of her husband or the worry to feed her kids who are still alive? Again a question hovers in my mind that why are all the privileges for the people who belong to the politically strong class or rich bureaucrats? They have roads named after them, public holidays to their names, and their name is made symbol of some great qualities. I say its crap. A person selling mangoes on a stall is better than some of these people. At least he earns a fair living and pays taxes and contributes to countries growth, whereas many of our so called national heroes were actually responsible and some were accused of stealing from our national income even after having millions of rupee in their bank accounts.
On the concluding note all this criticism is of no use. Analysts, statisticians and economic-political connoisseurs have done this long time ago as it is a part of their jobs. What we need here is AWARENESS. Awareness is an antidote to the rising disease of corruption that is eating up our political and economic stability (which has been a utopia in Pakistan since its birth). Awareness is the only weapon that can defeat the menace of corruption and bring harmony and prosperity.
Pakistan Zindabad :)

True! Political background people or people who have strong backgrounds are given importance as if ONLY they are humans while rest are piece of FLESH and BLOOD!
ReplyDeleteand abt awareness thingy! Pakistanis doesn't want to be aware of anything- IT's LIKE HITTING THEIR EGOS!
Its not their fault as well...
ReplyDeleteWe have been accustomed to think and behave this way...
in has been enforced into our minds that roti, kapra and makan are the only things that we need. Political authority that an individual exercises in a democratic state has been taken away from us.
